INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY THIS
MORNING,
ACTING DNI RICHARD GRINELL A
U.S. NAVAL NOTHING FRIDAY HIS
OFFICE WILL STRIP THE FBI OF ITS
DUTIES BRIEFING THE 2020
PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE
THAT FOLLOWS ACCUSATIONS OF
FOLEY BIAS IN THE 2016 ELECTION,
FORMER FBI DIRECTOR JAMES COMEY
INFAMOUSLY BRIEFED
PRESIDENT-ELECT DONALD TRUMP ON
JANUARY 6, 2017.
JUST ONE DAY AFTER HE MET WITH
PRESIDENT OBAMA AND OTHER TOP
OFFICIALS IN THE OVAL OFFICE,
AND I SAT DOWN WITH PRESIDENT
TRUMP HIMSELF TO DISCUSS WHAT
HAPPENED IN THE WEEKS LEADING UP
TO HIS INAUGURATION.
PRESIDENT TRUMP: IT WAS THE
GREATEST POLITICAL CRIME IN
THE HISTORY OF OUR COUNTRY.
IF I WERE A DEMOCRAT INSTEAD OF
A REPUBLICAN, I THINK EVERYBODY
WOULD HAVE BEEN IN JAIL A LONG
TIME AGO, AND I’M TALKING WITH
50 YEAR SENTENCES.
IT IS A DISGRACE WHAT’S HAPPENED
THIS IS THE GREATEST POLITICAL
SCAM, HOAX IN THE HISTORY OF OUR
COUNTRY.
AND PEOPLE SHOULD BE GOING TO
JAIL FOR THIS STUFF AND
HOPEFULLY, A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE
GOING TO HAVE TO PAY.
NO OTHER PRESIDENT SHOULD HAVE
TO GO THROUGH AND I’LL TELL YOU,
GENERAL FLYNN AND OTHERS ARE
HEROS, HEROS, BECAUSE WHAT’S
HAPPENED TO THEM, THEY WENT
AFTER GENERAL FLYNN.
THEY WANTED HIM TO LIE ABOUT ME,
MAKE UP A STORY, AND WITH FEW
EXCEPTIONS, NOBODY DID THAT.
THERE WERE MANY PEOPLE, I WATCH
K. T. MCFARLAND THE OTHER
DAY AND I WATCHED WHERE SHE WAS
KNOCK-KNOCK THE FBI.
OKAY?
THIS WAS ALL OBAMA.
THIS WAS ALL BIDEN.
THESE PEOPLE WERE CORRUPT THE
WHOLE THING WAS CORRUPT, AND
WE CAUGHT THEM.
AND THE CHARGES NOW?
I WATCHED BIDEN YESTERDAY COULD
BARELY SPEAK HE WAS ON GOOD
MORNING AMERICA, RIGHT?
AND HE SAID HE DIDN’T KNOW
ANYTHING ABOUT IT AND NOW, IT
JUST GETS RELEASED RIGHT AFTER
HE SAID THAT IT GETS RELEASED HE
WAS ONE OF THE UNMASKERS MEANING
HE KNEW EVERYTHING ABOUT IT, SO
HE LIED TO YOUR FRIEND GEORGE
STEPHANOPOULOS.
MARIA: EXPLAIN TO OUR AUDIENCE
WHAT THIS MEANS BECAUSE THIS IS
A SERIOUS THING.
THEY ARE TRACKING PHONE CALLS,
THEY WERE TRACKING THE PHONE
CALLS OF I GUESS KYSLIAK.
PRESIDENT TRUMP: I’LL TELL YOU
WHAT IT MEANS VERY SIMPLE SO
EVEN BEFORE I GOT ELECTED YOU
REMEMBER THE FAMOUS THE TWO
LOVERS, PETER STRZOK AND PAGE,
THE INSURANCE POLICY.
SHE’S GOING TO WIN BUT JUST IN
CASE SHE DOESN’T WE HAVE AN
INSURANCE POLICY.
THAT MEANS THAT IF I WON, THEY
ARE GOING TO TRY AND TAKE ME OUT
THAT’S ALL IT MEANS VERY SIMPLE.
IT’S AN INSURANCE POLICY SO
SHE’S GOING TO WIN.
ISN’T SHE DARLING?
ISN’T SHE GOING TO WIN?
AND YOU REMEMBER, THAT WAS A
REAL, GETTING THAT WHOLE THING
--
MARIA: RECOVERED IT.
PRESIDENT TRUMP: YOU HAVE BEEN
UNBELIEVABLE BUT MOST SHOWS
HAVEN’T.
MARIA: THE FBI SAID THEY STARTED
THE CROSSFIRE HURRICANE IN JULY
OF 2016 BUT WE KNOW THERE WERE
INFORM INFORMANTS RUNNING INTO
YOUR CAMPAIGN ASSOCIATES AS
EARLY AS JANUARY-FEBRUARY OF
2016.
THEY
WILL STEPHAN HALPER ALEXANDER
DOWNER, JOSEPH MISFID.
WHO ORGANIZES THAT?
WOULD THAT COME OUT OF THE CIA?
I KNOW KNOW KNOW STEFAN HALPER
MADE $1 MILLION.
PRESIDENT TRUMP: THEY GOT PAID A
FORTUNE.
GOVERNMENT MONEY. THEY WERE INTERVIEWED.
THEY WERE INTERVIEWED.
I DON’T KNOW KNOW KNOW MR.
LEYNAUD: PI THINK HE WAS ON A
COMMITTEE BUT I NEVER MET HIM,
BUT THEY WENT AFTER THESE PEOPLE
, VICIOUSLY.
IT’S ALL BECAUSE THEY WANTED TO
HURT THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED
STATES, AND THEY FIGURE, THAT
WILL EITHER HURT HIM OR TAKE HIM OUT THAT BE THE IDEAL.
HIM OUT THAT BE THE IDEAL.
COMEY IS A CORRUPT PERSON, AND
BUT LET ME TELL YOU, THEY’RE ALL
BAD, EVERYONE, CLAPPER IS, YOU
KNOW, NOT A SMART GUY BUT HERE
IS THE THING.
IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE FOR IT TO
HAPPEN FOR THE MAN THAT SITS
RIGHT IN THAT CHAIR IN THE OVAL
OFFICE HE KNEW EVERYTHING.
MARIA: DO YOU BELIEVE PRESIDENT
OBAMA DIRECTED THE U.S.
INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES
TO SPY ON YOU?
PRESIDENT TRUMP: YES HE PROBABLY
DIRECTED THEM BUT IF HE DIDN’T
DIRECT THEM HE KNEW EVERYTHING.
YOU’LL SEE THAT.
EXCUSE ME YOU’RE GOING TO SEE
THAT.
REMEMBER THE LISA PAGE TEXT TO
HER LOVER SAYING PODUS WANTS TO
SEE EVERYTHING.
WE’RE NOT TALKING ABOUT ME.
I WASN’T PRESIDENT.
THEY’RE TALKING ABOUT PODUS.
MARIA: THERE WAS A MEETING ON
JANUARY 5 IN THE OVAL OFFICE,
PRESIDENT OBAMA WAS THERE, VICE
PRESIDENT BIDEN WAS THERE, CLAP
PER, BRENNAN, AND THAT’S
WHEN THE LOGAN ACT CAME UP, SO
SHOULD WE BELIEVE THAT THEY WERE
LOOKING FOR COLLUSION EVIDENCE,
THEY COULDN’T FIND THE COLLUSION
EVIDENCE, THERE WAS NONE, SO
THEY SAID LET’S JUST USE THE
LOGAN ACT.
PRESIDENT TRUMP: FIRST OF ALL
THEY SNUCK AROUND WHITE HOUSE
COUNCIL AND WENT TO SEE A VERY
UNSUSPECTING GENERAL FLYNN.
HE’S A GENERAL, NOT A LAWYER.
THEY SAID YOU DON’T NEED A
LAWYER AND THEY STARTED ASKING
HIM QUESTIONS AND THEY PROBABLY
BROUGHT UP THE LOGAN ACT, AND
THEY PROBABLY SCARED THE HELL
OUT OF HIM BUT LET ME TELL YOU A
LITTLE SECRET.
THEY WERE ASK K. T. MCFARCOMMAND
THE WAY THEY
KNOCKED ON THE DOOR THE WHOLE
MUELLER INVESTIGATION IS A FRAUD
IT WAS ALL PART OF THE SAME DEAL
BUT WHAT THEY DID TO GENERAL
FLYNN AND OTHERS, YOU KNOW, WE
KNOW ABOUT GENERAL FLYNN, YOU’LL
FIND OUT ABOUT OTHERS TOO WHAT
THEY DID TO THESE PEOPLE IS AN
INTERNATIONAL DISGRACE, AND
ALL OVER THE WORLD THEY TALK
ABOUT IT, BECAUSE THIS IS NOT
AMERICA AND HOPEFULLY, THE
PEOPLE INVOLVED ARE GOING TO
PAY A BIG PRICE, BECAUSE IT
SHOULD NEVER BE ALLOWED TO
HAPPEN AGAIN.
MARIA: TREY GOWDY ON MY SHOW
THIS WEEKEND SAID THAT LEAKING
CLASSIFIED INFORMATION IS A 10-
YEAR FELONY.
WE KNOW THAT SOME OF THOSE
PEOPLE DID THAT.
PRESIDENT TRUMP: WELL COMEY DID
MARIA: HOW INVOLVED WAS JOHN
BRENNAN?
PRESIDENT TRUMP: TOTALLY
INVOLVED.
HE WAS ONE OF THE ARCHITECTS IN
MY OPINION, YOU LOOK AT BRENNAN,
CLAPPER, LOOK AT THEM ALL BUT
ULTIMATELY THE PRESIDENT KNEW
EVERYTHING.
THE PRESIDENT KNEW EVERYTHING.
PRESIDENT OBAMA AND VICE
PRESIDENT BIDEN, THEY KNEW
EVERYTHING.
AGAIN --
MARIA: WHAT CAN WE DO ABOUT IT?
PRESIDENT TRUMP: LET ME JUST
TELL YOU IF I WERE IN THAT
POSITION, IT BE A WHOLE
DIFFERENT THING.
IF THIS HAPPENED TO OBAMA,
INSTEAD OF TO A REPUBLICAN
PRESIDENT, THAT POPULAR 96% IN
THE REPUBLICAN PARTY, BUT IT’S A
WHOLE DIFFERENT THING.
IF THIS HAPPENED TO OBAMA,
INSTEAD OF TO ME, DO YOU KNOW
WHAT EVERYBODY BE IN JAIL FOR
YEARS ALREADY, FOR YEARS.
IT’S A DISGRACEFUL THING, BUT WE
CAUGHT THEM IN THE ACT, MARIA.
IT’S A BEAUTIFUL THING AND EVERY
DAY, WE’RE SEEING MORE AND MORE
INFORMATION COME OUT.
WE CAUGHT THEM, AND THEIR GUYS
ARE GONE.
THEY WERE GUARDING THE FORT,
COMEY AND ALL THESE GUYS WERE
GUARDING THE FORT AND ONCE THEY
LEFT, IT GOT EASIER AND EASIER
AND NOW IT’S LIKE AN AVALANCHE
OF REALLY BAD CALL IT TREASON,
CALL IT WHATEVER YOU WANT, BUT
THEY TRIED TO TAKE DOWN A DULY-
ELECTED PRESIDENT OF THE
UNITED STATES.
MARIA: THEY DIDN’T CARE THAT
53 MILLION PEOPLE VOTED FOR YOU
AND WANTED YOU IN THE OFFICE.
PRESIDENT TRUMP: MORE THAN
63 MILLION JUST SO YOU
UNDERSTAND THAT THEY GOT CAUGHT
IN THE ACT.
THEY NEVER THOUGHT THAT WAS
GOING TO HAPPEN.
AND THEY GOT SLOPPY.
WELL LISA PAGE WOULD TEXT AND
SEND MESSAGES THROUGH SERVICE.
YOU NO ONE OF THE OTHER THINGS
THAT IS MISSING?
THE DNC SERVER WHERE IS IT?
WHY IS IT THAT THE FBI DIDN’T
TAKE IT?
THEY ARRESTED ALL THESE PEOPLE
BUT THEY DIDN’T ARREST, THEY
WENT INTO SEE THE PEOPLE OF DNC,
THEY GO INTO SEE YOU KNOW HER
WONDERFUL CAMPAIGN MANAGER, YOU
KNOW ALL ABOUT THAT, RIGHT?
THEY WENT INTO SEE THOSE PEOPLE
WHOSE SUPPOSED TO, BY THE WAY,
BE ARRESTED AND THE BROTHER
NEVER GOT ARRESTED.
WHY DIDN’T --
MARIA: THE SAME INVESTIGATION
INTO THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN THEY
WERE ALSO WORKING ON THE
INVESTIGATION TO HILLARY
CLINTON’S E-MAILS.
PRESIDENT TRUMP: YEAH OH, YEAH
EXCEPT A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT
LEVEL OF INTENSITY OKAY?
MARIA: THAT WAS BY THE MIDDLE OF
THE YEAR THEY CALLED IT THE MID-
YEAR REVIEW.
PRESIDENT TRUMP: HOW ABOUT THEY
WALK INTO SEE HILLARY CLINTON’S
PEOPLE, FIVE PEOPLE I THINK AND
THEY SAID YOU ALL HAVE IMMUNITY.
YOU ALL HAVE IMMUNITY.
AND WITH OUR PEOPLE, THEY WANTED
TO TRY AND PUT THEM IN JAIL AND
IN SOME CASES THEY DID AND THOSE
PEOPLE ARE GOING TO GO
DOWN AS HEROS.
MARIA: I THINK CARTER PAGE IS
GOING TO SUE.
PRESIDENT TRUMP: I HOPE HE SUES.
GENERAL FLYNN IS GOING TO HAVE A
HECK OF A CASE BUT HE’S GOT A
JUDGE THAT I GUESS DOESN’T LIKE
HIM VERY MUCH, BUT MAYBE THE
JUDGE DOESN’T LIKE ME VERY
MUCH, OKAY?
MAYBE THE JUDGE DOESN’T LIKE ME
VERY MUCH.
I’LL TELL YOU WHAT I’VE READ
